Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Osteoporosis Risk

• Registration Number: NCT05854342
• Lead Sponsor: University of Salerno

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of bicarbonate-calcium water for the prevention of osteoporosis. Participants are women in pre- or post- menopausal state. The intervention group must drink bicarbonate-calcium water while the control group low mineral water

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
calcium (mg/dL)	0-3-6 month	change of some physiological parameters concentration related to calcium metabolism measured by blood laboratory tests
Parathyroid hormone (pg/mL)	0-3-6 month	change of physiological parameter concentration related to calcium metabolism
25-OH vitamin D (ng/mL)	0-3-6 month	change of physiological parameter concentration related to calcium metabolism
osteocalcin (ng/mL)	0-3-6 month	change of physiological parameter concentration related to calcium metabolism

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
NMR metabolomic profile and applications of Metabolomics in calcium metabolism	0-3-6 month	Metabolomic profile of serum related to calcium metabolism by NMR proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) Metabolomics aims at the quantitative analysis of all metabolites in a biological system, as well as their composition, interactions, and responses to interventions or a specific physiological state. The metabolomics approach correlates broad biochemical changes with health and disease states, and advanced statistical metabolic modeling allows the identification of biomarkers, enabling the quantification of low-molecular-weight metabolites
